'Surrounded by 20 acres currently grazed by cattle, this beach cottage
has a wonderful island atmosphere unable to be duplicated by anything in
the state.'

Set in a 'jungle canyon' the home has its own a private access road and rocky beach.

Property on the Big Island can command high prices but this wooden home, which is described as coming with a 'full kitchen' but little
else, is like nothing seen before.

However, beach huts are increasingly commanding bigger and better price-tags.

In the U.K. a six-foot wide hut went on sale for £245,000 (around $400,000) in South Devon in November.

Though it perhaps couldn't compete with the countryside of Laupahoehoe, it had a 'under floor heating, a marble wet room, wireless internet, and electric windows which automatically close when it rains'.

Four times as much, the Hawaii cottage also comes with two carports underneath the property and a 'large open common space'.

Laupahoehoe is currently home to only 581 people with a median age of 45 and has an average income of $30,000 per household.

The name means 'Leaf Lava' named after leaf-shaped lava formed on its beaches.

The tiny town of Laupahoehoe sits on the slopes of Mauna Kea, a volcano which is the highest point in all of Hawaii reaching 33,500 ft from its ocean base - making it more than twice the size of Everest.
